11 vinyl pressings of The Things We Did Last Summer are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Colpix Records CP 654.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CP 654, 7N.25166, PP-182, CP 15033) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, N7OW 9106-3 and NO7W 0661-2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
